The Zero-Volt (Hibernation)
Suspend-to-Disk function is a
power-saving feature that saves all
current status information and
images on your hard disk when
your notebook enters suspend
mode.
If you want to use the zero-volt suspend function, you have to create a
suspend-to-disk file on the hard disk by installing ASTDK for DOS and
Windows 3.x or ASTDK for Windows 95. Refer to section D.1 for more
details.
If you do not install ASTDK, the notebook can only enter
standby mode and not suspend mode. Standby mode still
consumes power whereas suspend mode consumes none.
Data is also lost when power runs out when the notebook is in
standby mode.
You can also install the other system utilities if they are not pre-
installed on the system. See Appendix D for details.
6. If the notebook displays an error message or if you encounter any
problems, see section 6.2 for corrective actions.
7. You may operate the system on AC or battery power. To conserve
battery power, you can make use of the different power-saving modes
described in sections 2.4.
